Saturday's "Classics"

Der Klassiker will kick off at 12:30 ET/17:30 GMT on Fox Sports in the USA; BT Sport in the UK; Sportsnet in Canada; beIN Sports in Australia; and Sky Sport in Germany.

This clash between the Bundesliga's two top dogs has all the ingredients to entertain. Dortmund, currently unbeaten in the German top-flight, boasts a four-point lead over the defending champion and could stretch that to seven with a win. One man who could lead the home side to victory is the in-form Marco Reus, with the BVB captain revealing his excitement for Saturday's tie.

As for Bayern Munich, they remain in the title race but are nowhere near perfection. Nonetheless, the Bavarians occupy the third spot and could slash Dortmund's lead to a single point should they win. Kovac insisted that the weekend trip will be difficult, but warned the league leader that they are not a side to be underestimated.

As for AC Milan, they drew 1-1 with Real Betis in the Europa League on Thursday. They host the league leader knowing defeat could see them drop out of the top four.

Dani Alves reveals how close he came to working under Mourinho

Apparently, Dani Alves could have ended up working under Jose Mourinho, not Pep Guardiola. This is according to the Brazilian himself, who revealed how he nearly joined Chelsea before sealing a Camp Nou move. Although the deal fell through, everything worked out quite well for the defender.

"I was very close to joining Chelsea in 2007. Everything was done from my end and I was happy to join Chelsea and work with Mourinho.
